use eigenvectors and values to plot a cluster plot in r

To plot a cluster plot using eigenvectors and eigenvalues in R, you can follow these steps:

1. Compute the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of your data matrix. Let's assume you have a data matrix called data_matrix.

# Compute covariance matrix
cov_matrix <- cov(data_matrix)

# Compute eigenvectors and eigenvalues
eigen_results <- eigen(cov_matrix)
eigenvectors <- eigen_results$vectors
eigenvalues <- eigen_results$values

2. Use the eigenvectors corresponding to the largest eigenvalues to project your data onto a lower-dimensional space. Let's say you want to project onto a 2-dimensional space.

projection_matrix <- eigenvectors[, 1:2]
projected_data <- as.matrix(data_matrix) %*% projection_matrix

3. Plot the projected data points on a 2D scatter plot to visualize the clusters.

plot(projected_data, col = 'blue', pch = 19, xlab = 'PC1', ylab = 'PC2')

This will plot the data points onto a 2D scatter plot using the first two principal components as the axes. You can further customize the plot by coloring the points based on actual clusters or adding labels, etc.
